Veterinary Teaching Hospital – Nursing Care Unit Renovation

Project phase: Archived

The Veterinary Medical Center (Veterinary Teaching Hospital) was built nearly 50 years ago. More than 5,000 animals receive treatment each year in the nursing and critical care units of the Veterinary Teaching Hospital. As with human hospitals, critical care and “step down” nursing care units are now staffed 24/7 with specialized staff and equipment. Open floor plans have proved to be the most efficient for continuous patient monitoring and delivery of care.
